Delegate Assembly 2023

Election of Delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly

At the time United Voices went to print, seven state delegate positions are open for the 2023 NEA Representative Assembly (RA), which will be held July 1 (travel day) through July 7, 2023, (travel day) in Orlando.

Petitions for the state-paid delegate positions can be obtained by calling NDU or are located at www.ndunited. org. Members running for a delegate position must obtain 50 signatures from active members of NDU. The student and retired positions are elected by their constituencies.

Completed petitions with the 50 signatures, along with a short bio and headshot, must be returned to ND United, 301 N 4th Street, Bismarck, ND 58501, by Feb. 15, 2023.

The delegates will be elected at the 2023 NDU Delegate Assembly to be held April 15 at BSC’s National Energy Center for Excellence.

Local Association Delegate Elections

Presidents of locals of 76 or more members will receive an email from NEA in late January with their number of delegates to be elected to the 2023 NEA Representative Assembly. These local delegate report forms are due at NDU headquarters by April 10, 2023.

Local associations are allocated one delegate for each 150 active and educational support NEA members or major fraction thereof. Locals with fewer than 76 members may cluster to form delegate units.

NDU’s Affirmative Action Plan

NDU’s affirmative action plan commits the Association to elect two minority delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly each year.

Ethnic minorities may be nominated for state delegate positions in the same manner as others: by submitting a petition signed by 50 active members to ND United, 301 N 4th Street, Bismarck, ND 58501 by Feb. 15, 2023.
